some updates

• i have been in portuguese classes now for a few weeks - 3 x per week - so the language is beginning to take hold
• i have found that i am most proficient at greeting everyone, wishing people a good weekend, and thanking everyone profusely as these are the words that come to me naturally now
• they tell me when you start dreaming in another language then you are really learning - well, i guess i'm not quite there yet. seems as though my classes begin too early in the morning for much dreaming about anything
• i walk everywhere around cambui
• the dawgs are rated #1 in the states (futbol americano), so i'll catch at least the alabama game while i'm there in september
